Volume 1 MARCH 22, 1931 Number 24

We have just received a letter from a representativeof a large radio advertiser, who states that he was inter-ested in the editorial contained in our March 8th issue.This editorial projected our opinion that the majority ofradio programs were determined in their appeal by theletters written to the broadcasting station and the adver-tiser, and that since only a minority of the radio audiencewrote letters expressing their opinion of the program, andthat minority preferred a particular type of program, thistype of program was the one most usually selected forpresentation, under the impression that it had been se-lected by a "representative part of the people listeningin to the programs." The letter then goes on to state thathow an opinion can be obtained from the non -writing typeof listeners would certainly be of great interest to us.Your reply will be kept strictly confidential."

The writer of this letter evidently expected us toinclude in our reply some dark, secret formula for extract-ing from unwilling letter -writers an opinion of a broad-cast program; some such formula, for example, as analchemist of old would present to one who wished to knowhow to extract gold from one of the baser metals. But weare no practical alchemist, and we have no formulas guar-anteed to transmute the silence of a part of the radio audi-ence into enthusiastic expressions of opinion. We can,however, offer our opinion of the course which advertiserswould do well to follow in this matter, and, provided thatour correspondent was not being merely cynical, thisshould be of some encouragement.

When an artist hangs one of his paintings up in apublic gallery he quite naturally expects that a certainpercentage of those who view it will express their opinionof his work to him or to the gallery attendant. But wehave yet to hear of an artist who tabulated these expres-sions as "for" and "against," and regulated his futurework along these lines by the preponderance of one classof opinion over the others. The wise painter realizesthat of the many people who saw his painting only a fewwere willing to voice their opinion, and the opinion ofthose few was by no means representative. Inasmuch asit was impossible to elicit an expression from all who sawhis picture the artist would, in future paintings, followthe dictates of his own tastes, secure in the knowledgethat if the work pleased him it would also be pleasing to

thousands of people whose tastes in art were as elevatedas his own.

If De Vinci, IVIichalengello, Rembrandt, and, to delveinto another field, Wagner, Beethoven and Liszt hadabided by the opinions of the people who were quick tovoice their dislike for anything even slightly unconven-tional, what would have become of the works of art whichhave been such a joy and inspiration to the people wholived at the time they were produced as well as those ofthe future? And do the sponsors of our broadcast pro-grams of today really believe that when they have pro-duced and put on the air a program which shall rank asa classic they will be made aware of this fact by the letterswhich they receive?

Our advice to advertisers, which is, after all, only ourown opinion, and carries no weight other 'than that ofthe argument above, can be deduced from what has pre-ceded. We suggest that the commercial sponsors ofbroadcast programs disregard entirely the letters whichcome pouring in after each broadcast; disregard them,that is, as an indication of the quality of the program. Asa means of creating an enthusiasm in the minds of a cer-tain percentage of the radio audience for the product ad-vertised, letters, and contests, and other such forms_ ofballyhoo probably have their uses. There are undoubtedlythousands of listeners who have become well acquaintedwith the trade name of a certain product thru repeatedlywriting to the advertiser requesting a sample, and statingthat "I enjoy your program very much." However, wedoubt the value of such testimonials, or even those whichhave been sent unsolicited, as an indication of publicopinion.

Finally, we suggest to our correspondent, and to com-mercial sponsors in general, that they cease searching fornonexistent straws in the wind. If they, the advertisers,are satisfied that their program is produced by competentpeople, that the artists are in every respect satisfying, andthat the whole is presented to the listeners in a satisfac-tory manner, why not allow the program to stand on itsown merits? There is no royal road to a knowledge of thequality of a broadcast program, and one of the least re-liable of the paths to this knowledge is that of lettersfrom listeners.

cians ever to reach the heights in en-semble playing in America will beguest artists in the Swift "GardenHour" program which will be broad-cast Sunday from 2:30 to 3 P. M.over NBC and KYW. The program,sponsored by the Vigoro plant fooddivision of Swift and Company, isthe sixth of a series of 13 Sundaybroadcasts over the same network.

The quartet, Jacques Gordon, itsleader, Josef Vieland, Edwin Eidlerand Nahoun Benditsky, have playedbefore the most critical audiences inthe country, according to its spon-sors. They have given 12 concertsunder the auspices of the Library ofCongress and appeared in recitals atYale University, the Boston PublicLibrary and the festival at the Con-gressional Library in Washington,D. C.

Jacques Gordon received his earlymusical training in Odessa, Russia,his birthplace, and came to theUnited States at the age of 13. Hismusical career was a series of manysuccesses until in 1921 1,e was madeconcert master of the Chicago Sym-phony Concert, the youngest musi-cian ever to be. appointed to this postwith a major symphony orchestra.He recently resigned from this post,in order to devote all his time withhis quartet.

For his garden talk during the"Garden Hour" broadcast, Sunday,Swift and Company's Master Gar-dener hag chosen the subject: "Man'sLove of the Soil."

The Gordon quartet program con-sists of:Drink to Me Only with Thine EyesSerenade by LaloMolly on the ShoreNotturno by BorodinTurkey in the Straw

"IL IEBESTRAUM"BY CRAWFORD

Jesse Crawford, Royal Poet of theOrgan, has prepared a special ar-rangement of Frank Liszt's "Liebes-traum" for his program during theRoyal Typewriter Hour on WBBMand the Columbia Broadcasting Sys-tem, Sunday from 9 to 9:30 P. M.

The remainder of the program willinclude songs by Paul Small, tenor,and medleys of popular request hitsplayed on the organ by Crawford.Louis A. Witten will be in charge ofproduction and will announce thebroadcast.

Liszt wrote three short tone poemsfor piano which he called "Liebes-traum." The first two he gives a sub-title of Nocturne, but they are inreality "Songs 'Without Words," asthey are in truth simple songs of sev-eral stanzas which the piano deco-rates by cadenza and accompaniment.

The most famous of the three isthis Liebestraum in A flat, publishedin 1850 as a piano solo. Liszt orig-inally used this melody as a song,which was set to the poem by Ferdi-nand Freiligrath (1810-1876), a Ger-man Revolutionary poet, who in hisyouth wrote many charming lyricsreflective of Romanticism. His poem"0 Love" made a very deep impres-sion on Liszt ,who first used it asa song, then as this transcription.

PHIL SPITALNY

The versatile orchestra leader pic-tured above ranks as one of the mostpopular conductors in the country,winning triumph after triumph where -ever he appears both as a purveyorof dance tunes and the more soothingmusic. Before coming to Chicagofor an engagement at the EdgewaterBeach Hotel Spitalny ranked as oneof the "Big Four" among easternconductors of dance bands. Sincearriving here he has taken the middlewest by storm, not only because of theinfectious gaiety and rhythm of hisdance music but because of his unus-ual versatility, which permits him tointerpret the greatest of classicalselections with the same ease withwhich he directs his orchestra thruthe mazes of modern dance tunes.

Phil is the younger brother ofChicago's own H. Leopold. Hebelieves that radio listeners are sen-timental-dancers are not. "Theaverage person sitting at home besidethe fire and listening to the radio,"Spitalny declares, "like a muchquieter type of music than those whohave 'gone out' somewhere for a goodtime." And since Phil is at his bestwhen conducting his orchestra thruthe "quieter type of music," his popu-larity is with those who nightly tuneto KYW, or to the NBC network, tohear him.

UP FROM THE GUTTER

Sax Rohmer, the noted author, whowas recently heard over an NBC net-work as guest speaker on the Col-lier's Radio Hour, started his careerby writing comic songs. His realname is Arthur Ward.

PHILHARMONICCONCERT

One of Dvorak's lesser -knownworks, "Othello" overture, will openthe concert by the New York Phil-harmonic Orchestra, under the direc-tion of Arturo Toscanini, at 2:15P. M. Sunday, to be broadcast fromthe Brooklyn Academy of Music overWMAQ and the nationwide Colum-bia network.

The overture was originally writ-ten as part of a trilogy, in which thethree movements, "In der Natur,""Carneval" and "Othello" represent-ed pictures of childhood, youth andmanhood. But the composer waspersuaded to issue the works sep-arately, although at one of the Rich-ter concerts in 1807, the three wereplayed in succession according to theoriginal plan. The first and thirdhave been overshadowed in popular-ity by the "Carneval," but "Othello"contains, in contrast with the joyousamours of youth, a musical charac-terization of the deeper passions andtragedies of the soul.

Generally regarded as the greatestliving symphonic composer, JeanSibelius, the Finnish patriot and na-tionalist, is represented in the pro-gram by his Fourth Symphony in Aminor. This is one of eight orches-tral works in this form, and reflectsthe consistent attitude of Sibelius,mingling a profound love of naturewith a grave and almost melancholicmeditation.

During the intermission which fol-lows the symphony the music will bedescribed by Olin Downes, the dis-tinguished critic, and the concert willconclude with Richard Strauss' "DonQuixote," which he described as "fan-tastic variations on a theme ofknightly character." The program:Overture, "Othello" DvorakSymphony in A minor,

No. 4 SibeliusDescription of music by Olin Downes"Don Quixote" Strauss

CHRIST AS PROPHET"Christ enters Jerusalem: Proph-

et," will be the title of the sermon tobe broadcast by the Rev. DonaldGrey Barnhouse from the TenthPresbyterian Church of Philadelphiaon Sunday, from 4 to 4:30 P. M., overthe WMAQ-Columbia network.

Although everyone admits thatJesus Christ had a great messageto deliver, Mr. Barnhouse states,there is a great difference of opin-ion as to what the message and itssignificance were. He will take theBible teaching on this much discussedsubject as the basis of his sermon.

NBC NEWS

What does the radio announcer dowith his spare time? Of course itall depends on his hobby. In thecase of Ted Pearson, Popular NBCannouncer and head of the produc-tion department, he spends his timein his apartment, playing over hiscollection of phonograph records.

Pearson is a great lover of modernmusic and has a valuable collectionof American and European record-ings some of which are very rare.

When the first episode of Andy'strial for breach of promise withMadame Queen went on the air itmarked the 913th episode of theAmos n' Andy broadcasts-includingthose made before joining NBC. Theepisodes average from 100 to 1800words, and not an episode has beenmissed because of illness or accident.

COLUMBIA STUDIOGLIMPSES

EMPIRE BUILDERS

Montana's famous cowboy artist,Charles M. Russell, is the principalcharacter in the story which the OldTimer relates on Empire BuildersMonday night at 9:30 over KYW.

Through Russell's paintings thelife of the old west will live forever,but it is the old, lovable Charlie him-self, close friend of Will Rogers, thatthe Old Timer tells about. Probablythree -fourths of the homes in theUnited States today have one ormore reproductions of Charlie Rus-sell's western pictures, and those whoadmire him only as a painter will lovehim as a man when they "listen in"on the confab between him and theOld Timer, a few years back, out inMr. Russell's studio cabin, at LakeMcDonald, in Glacier National Park.

A musical background has been ar-ranged by Josef Koestner, directorof the Great Northern orchestra, fea-turing Mark Williams, singing cow-boy, who will be introduced to thenational networks for the first timeon the Great Northern program. Thestory is by Edward Hale Bierstadt.

ADVANCE SPORT NOTICEThe sport pages of the newspapers

are relating enthusiastic tales of thepossibilities of the local baseballteams, and in California, Texas andFlorida the railbirds watching thetraining exercises of major leagueteams have heard the welcome soundof bat crashing against horsehide inthe first sweet symphonies of spring.It therefore behooves us to regalethe sport fan with a recital of thebroadcasts which he may anticipatefor the coming season.

Graham McNamee for NBC, TedHusing for CBS, and Pat Flanagan,Bob Elson, Hal Totten, and otherlocal sport announcers are polishingtheir microphones, attuning their ton-sils, and otherwise preparing forwhat they expect to be a strenuousoutdoor season. Our Cubs, under thecompetent direction of Roger Horns-by, are all set to run off with theNational League pennant, and theWhite Sox are highly confident thatthey will finish better than they didlast year, so we may expect greatthings from the baseball broadcaststhis summer.

HINTS FOR NBCAPPLICANTS

An invisible jury sits in judgmenton the qualifications of those whoaspire for places on the entertainers'staff of the new mid -west "radiocenter" of the National Broadcast-ing Company at Chicago.

Applicants for these positions arefirst classified by Miss Elena De -Marco, assistant to A. W. Kaney,program director. From their train-ing and experience she gathers someidea of whether they are even readyfor an audition. In the event theyare, the time is set. When the ap-plicants assemble they are taken intoone of the studios, while Miss De -Marco goes into the studio controlroom where she can hear themthrough a reproducer. Specialnotices, giving the time of auditions,are sent to all the department heads.In the office of each is a large RCAreproducer, and each departmenthead dials in the particular studiowhere the audition is to be held.Thus, these ten or twelve men areenabled to judge the qualifications ofthe applicant without ever leavingtheir own offices. The entertainers,themselves, are unaware of this jury,and insofar as they can tell, there isno one listening except the persons inthe control room.

These "secret hearings" are betterfrom a psychological viewpoint, ithas been found. As a rule, enter-tainers appearing for an audition aresomewhat nervous. Were they to betaken into a studio where there wereten or twelve people sitting around,it would only magnify their nervousstate. As it is, they are able to pre-sent their numbers -uninfluenced bythe thought that people are watch-ing them.

She is Giovanna Siraguse, a nativeof Chicago of Italian parentage, andwhen she faced the microphone, shewas within five days of her nine-teenth birthday. Singularly enough,Miss Siragusa started out to becomea pianist and so proficient was shethat in 1928 she won first prize of$1,000 in a piano contest conductedby the Chicago Herald and Examiner.The following year, however, it wasdiscovered by a member of the staffof the National Broadcasting Com-pany that she had a beautiful naturalvoice, since when she has been devot-ing all of her time to vocal lessons.

THE POPE SPEAKS TOAMERICA

Frequent rebroadcasts in the nearfuture from HVJ in the Vatican Citywere forecast following the success-ful completion of the initial Papalradio program Thursday (February12).

No definite arrangement for aregular schedule of programs hasbeen made as yet but experimentalwork inaugurated three weeks agowill be enlarged upon. In order todetermine the fullest possibilities ofrebroadcasts from the Vatican muchof the testing by engineers under hisdirection will be conducted on atwenty -four -hour -a -day basis. Par-ticular attention will be focused onatmospheric conditions and signalstrength at various hours of the dayand night.

Radio officals were particularlyimpressed with interest displayed bythe listening public Thursday in theinformal two-way conversations puton the air following the Vatican Citystation ceremonies.

The United States, England, Brazil,Argentina, Canada, Australia, thePhilippines, South Africa and othercountries rebroadcast the ceremoniesto hundreds of millions of listeners.Seven shortwave stations in this coun-try supplemented the Vatican stationand the regular NBC chains by re-broadcasting the program to remotecorners of the earth.

England, unable to receive HVJ'ssignals satisfactorily, depended upona relay through the General Electricshortwave station at Schenectady forthe program and reported highlysatisfactory results. All sections ofthe world reported remarkable recep-tion. The Rev. Father EdmundWalsh, of Georgetown University,radioed he had listened to the broad-cast aboard the trans -Atlantic linerBremen fifteen hundred miles fromNew York.

Senatore Marconi advised that fourhours after the program concludedthe Vatican State telegraph stationoperating at high speed capacity, hadreceived 400 telegrams and cablesThousands more were expected with-in the next few days.

NBC officals later declared thatthe results obtained justified the twoyears of experimentation, researchand chart making in connection withshortwave broadcasting. Two yearsago NBC attempted this task, in thehope that every fireside would be-come a front seat at all world events.With ever increasing frequency,engineers have brought to the earsof radio listeners the voices offoreign notables, the descriptions ofinteresting events and special mes-sages from abroad.

The Papal broadcast climaxed thislong work as the greatest and mostsuccessful international broadcastyet attained. Particular tribute tothe genius of Senatore Marconi,builder of the Vatican City station,was paid.

NEW CBS OFFERINGS

The ever-changing panorama ofradio, with new programs, new artistsand new methods of presentation in-sistently pressing for attention, wasnever more vividly illustrated thanduring the first two months of 1931.

A survey of the features heard overthe Columbia Broadcasting Systemreveals that twenty-two sponsoredprograms and thirteen major sustain-ing presentations have been inaugu-rated since January 1.

One outstanding development inthis freshening vista has been the en-trance of a new group of radio per-sonalities into national favor throughthe medium of fifteen -minute "reci-tals." The case best known, perhaps,is that of Morton Downey whosehigh and unusual tenor voice hasfound its way into nation-wide popu-larity almost over -night. His audi-ence mail has grown extravagantlyand through dint of his radio activi-ties he contracted for a series of per-sonal appearances at theatres at aweekly salary of $5,500.

Other entertainers who have beenheard in the new policy of presenta-tion are Lee Morse, character singer;Art Gillhan, "The Whispering Pian-ist"; Mary Charles, featured in herown song vignettes; Barbara Maurel,whose contralto voice is heard on aspecial program, and Ben Alley,tenor, who appears with Ann Leaf,organist, every Saturday night.

Because of the great influx of spon-sored programs since the advent ofthe new year lack of air time haslimited other new sustaining features.A number, however, have meritedparticular attention. The most im-portant is the Columbia ConcertsCorporation Program, one of the re-sults of the merger of seven impor-tant concert bureaus by the broad-casting system. There have beenbrought before the microphone onthis feature such artists as FlorenceEaston, Max Rosen, Nelson Eddy,Luella Melius and Ernest Hutcheson.

Through the efforts of GeorgiaBackus, Columbia's Director of Dra-matics, listeners -in have been enabledto attend a series of experimentallaboratory plays, presented eachWednesday night. These produc-tions, written expressly for radio,constitute an innovation in radiodramatics, contributing unusual ef-fects in script acts. "Split Seconds"and "Murder in the Studio" are ex-amples of plays already presented.

"Radio Roundup," corralling dif-ferent guest artists each week, to-gether with a forty -piece orchestraunder Freddie Rich, has provided afast-moving musical program onThursday nights. Returning after ayear off the air Don Clark's "Storyin a Song," a dramatic and musicaloffering, returned to the air -waves inFebruary.

DON BERNARD

Like so many others who havemade their mark in the radio world,Don Bernard, program advisor ofNBC's Chicago studios and directorof the Great Northern Railway's"Empire Builders" dramas, startedout with the ambition of being asinger.

After a short career in music fol-lowing study at Ohio Wesleyan Uni-versity and the Bush Conservatory ofMusic in Chicago, Mr. Bernard wasbitten by the radio bug. He becameprogram director of a small stationin Ohio, then went to New York withNBC, and later was transferred toChicago as program manager.

In accounting for the popularity ofthe Great Northern's Monday nightplaylets, due credit must be giventhe lavish musical setting which isprovided for each program. "Built"would be a better word, for Mr. Ber-nard and Josef Koestner, conductorof the Great Northern orchestra,collaborate in writing a great dealof original music for this program,as well as in working out special ar-rangements, all of which are pains-takingly designed to strengthen andmake .more effective the dramatic ac-tion of the story, developing expec-tancy, creating suspense, suggestingdanger or discord and the countlessother opportunities afforded by eachscript to play upon the emotions ofthe listeners and make them really"feel" the reality of the story andactually "live" it with the actors.

There is probably no better exam-ple on the air today of the employ-ment of music to strengthen dramaticeffect or to beautify a dramatic pre-sentation than the music which notonly surrounds but is a vital part ofevery Great Northern production.

In addition to his work on EmpireBuilders, Mr. Bernard is the directorof two outstanding musical presenta-tions, "Armour Hour" and "Maytag."

KING AND WEEMS SWAP

Wayne King's orchestra playing atthe Aragon Ballroom and TedWeems' orchestra playing at theTrianon Ballroom, exchanged ball-rooms recently. Thus Weems' musicwill be heard on KYW instead ofKing's. The "swapping" arrange-ment will also be in effect Thursdays.

VAN HEUSEN PROGRAM

Lee Morse

Lee Morse, stage and radio star;Larry Murphy, tenor; Harry vonZell, master -of -ceremonies, and aneighteen -piece orchestra conductedby Eugene Ormandy, comprise thetalent to be heard on the Van Heu-sen Program over the WMAQ-Co-lumbia network every Friday at 9

P. M. The feature will be announcedby Don Ball.

An extraordinary range of voice,which enables Miss Morse to singeither high soprano or a deep con-tralto that is almost a baritone, isboth a heritage from her mother andher childhood. During her schooldays in a small Tennessee town, MissMorse received her first vocal train-ing as a member of her brother'squartet in which she was required tosing a masculine part. Her motheris now director of a church choir inAllen, Oklahoma, where her father,the Rev. P. J. Taylor, is minister.

Murphy, soloist for several Colum-bia features, will be heard in thevocal choruses of the orchestra se-lections.

Ormandy is former leader of theCapitol Theatre Orchestra in NewYork, and guest conductor of thePhiladelphia Symphony and the NewYork Philharmonic orchestras.

REAL LIFEDRAMA

9:15 to 9:30 P. M. Mondays. Thisfifteen minute period will include"The Venetian Love Song" playedby the WIBO string ensemble-and"Waltzes from Three Little Girls"by the orchestra under the directionof Eric Sagerquist. The addition ofmusic should make the period ofgreater interest.

KEYSTONE CHRONICLEAunt Hessie, the stormy petrel of

Madagascar county, conceives one ofher distorted ideas and puts it intoinstant and devastating effect duringthe Keystone Chronicle program tobe presented Saturday afternoon,from 12:30 to 12:45 P. M., from theChicago NBC studios, and WLS.

The peaceful calm of the smalltown newspaper office is put to routwhen the old lady makes one of herperiodic invasions.

MEMORY TESTWhose song memory is best-yours

or that of J. Wilson Doty, new stafforganist at WBBM?

J. Wilson bets on himself in a newseries of programs each Monday,Wednesday and Saturday, 9:45 to 10P. M. It's something of a game. Thelisteners write to the station, namingsome old-time and almost forgottenditty. Doty does not see the lettersuntil the program is started. Thenthey are selected at random, and thetitles called out.

If Doty can play the number, hedoes. If he cannot, the writer getsa prize. The radio memory game issponsored by the Liberty Cleaners.

NBC DISCVERS McCOYThe southern syncopation inter-

preted by Clyde McCoy and his crewof Kentuckians, playing at the Mor-rison Hotel's Terrace Garden, hasbeen "discovered" by the NBC net-work, and now McCoy's orchestra hasbeen scheduled by NBC to go overWENR, each Thursday night at 11:30o'clock.

WWAE CUCKOO CLUBEarl Babcock, who is well known

to local listeners as one of the mem-bers of Paul Whiteman's Nutty Clubbroadcast over WBBM, has gone andstarted a midnight club of his ownon WWAE. He calls it the CuckooClub, and presents it every Saturdaynight at midnight. Carl sings manyof his own songs and for relief heintroduces some of his own jokes.We don't quite know which of thetwo is better (or worse), but they'recertainly original.

AUTHOR! AUTHOR!

Occasionalsound effects andmusical inter-ludes by FreddieRich and hisstudio ensemblehave been addedto the Daddy andRollo acts duringthe La Palinaprogram everyTuesday, W e d-nesday andThursday at 6:45p. m., over theWMAQ - Colum-bia chain.These additionsare simply radio"props," enabling the author of thescripts, J. P. McEvoy, to get morethan one episode into a fifteen -minuteperiod.

One hears the squeals of monkeysand the roar of the lions, for instance,when Daddy takes Rollo to the parkzoo: the clang and rumble of a streetcar for perhaps thirty seconds, andthe half hour that it would take themto get home from the park is con-sumed; a fad -out into a half minuteof music, and the scene changes.

DID HE EAT THEM?

A young listener recently sentJolly Bill and Jane of NBC a box ofdog biscuits for their dog, Jerry.

Jolly Bill plays the dog.

LE TEFt. Atkinson, Wis.

Dear Sirs:I wish to say I am certainly thank-

ful I heard of the Radio Weekly, asthe four copies I've received so farhave given me much pleasure, andare so very interesting I shan't missa single copy from now on. It's thebest magazine of its kind I've everseen, and I'm sure it's going to getbetter and better each issue itsprinted. As soon as the magazine ar-rives I drop whatever I'm doing toglance thru it; then later I take mytime to read it very carefully, andenjoy each picture and item tellingall about the radio stars and the dif-ferent programs for the coming week.

I'm sorry I had to miss all thosecopies before I knew of the magazine,but I assure you I wont miss any ofthose you print from now on.

Mrs. Elsie Reap.

(Well, well, we thought only radiostations received letters like that one,and here we are getting more of themall the time. We are certainly grate-ful to you readers who take thetime to tell us what you think of theWeekly, because only with your helpcan we make it what you would likeit to be.)

Chicago, Ill.Gentlemen:

I have been much interested in theweekly column written by the Cynic.

Inasmuch as he has already attack-ed two of the finest programs on theair, may I suggest that he be allowedto present a program of his own? Iknow a number of people who wouldgladly write his column for him thatweek.

Also, may I say to him, "who killedyour dog, mister?"

Mrs. D. K. Magee.

Irving, Ill.Gentlemen:

I read the Radio Weekly each weekand like it very much. I think it fineand very interesting. I would liketo know, too, if you have had one forWENR. I like this station best ofall. It seems that they have suchgood programs on account of the va-riety. I would like to know how Imay get a picture of East and Dumke.I enjoy their program daily, andwonder if they have been in theRadio Weekly.

Mrs. Cecil K. Wiley.

(We have not yet dedicated an is-sue of the Weekly to WENR, anddue to the change of ownership ofthat station, many of the best likedartists are now appearing from otherlocal stations. One of the early is-sues of the Weekly contained a fullpage story and picture of the popularconductors of the Sisters of the Skil-let, but copies of this issue are nowas scarce as phonograph records ona chain broadcast. Some day soon,however, we will publish their latestpicture for you Sisters.)

LETTERS- Continued

Chicago, Ill.

Gentlemen:

I like your little weekly verymuch, but it is still very incompleteand besides you are behind the times.

In the last copy you have notedvery few of the WENR - WLSchanges for which your readers areanxiously waiting, I am sure. Youdidn't even know about "Webster'sGrocery Store," which heretofore hasbeen on WENR at 9 P. M. o'clockon Thursday, and I was also waitingto find out from your paper if therehas been any change.

Surely, you know the Smith Familyhas moved to WMAQ at 8:30 P. M.on Wednesday, that Farmer Rusk ofWLS also has gone to WMAQ, thatMike and Herman will be on WBBMbeginning the 15th, and you still haveall these listed at their old places.I think your paper is prepared andprinted too far in advance to get allthe desirable features in that couldand should be put in.

Also you have so many of the pro-grams listed only as "talks" or "popu-lar music," not stating whether theyare by artists who are on the staffregularly. You have some listed thisway but not enough.

Here's for a bigger and betterpaper.

Mrs. B. Archambault.

(Give us a little time, Mrs. Arch-ambault, and all these things youcomplain of will be adjusted satisfac-torily.)

Chicago, Ill.

Gentlemen:

Your issue of March first intro-duced me to your publication, which,I am glad to say, and you, no doubt,are happy to hear, I found very in-teresting. Your Weekly gave me thesort of information about the differ-ent radio performers that made mefeel as tho I were being allowed tostand in the wings of a great theatre.I can say that I was rewarded forallowing myself to increase mybudget five cents for the purchase ofyour magazine.

Not having read your publicationbefore, I do not know whether or notyou have printed any article aboutKnute and Sven, who are heardnightly over WCHI. They aren'tlisted in your program so I take itthat you either don't know of themor have no information about them.I have been curious to know just whothey are-especially if Axel Christen-sen is one of the characters. Who-ever they are they certainly have abrogue and a story that is reallyamusing. In fact they had a courtscene that was more humorous thanany situation Amos and Andy everexperienced. Please find out whothese two characters are in real lifeand pass the news on to us.

G. F. Becker.

E C NICWhat a lot of hokum one can im-

bibe in a single adventurous expe-dition up the dial! Where formerlythe cultists, the fadists, and those en-thusiastic but misguided old womenof both sexes who believed they haddiscovered a cure for all the ills towhich the flesh is prone, were limitedto a small circle which included theirfriends and the friends of theirfriends, today one can find them allteaching out greedily for more andmore followers via the radio. Eventhe chains are not averse to giving acertain amount of time each weekgratis to some demented person whobelieves himself or herself (usuallyherself) to be a "voice crying in thewilderness."

One night last week I started at thetop of the dial, working down, andfound no less than four cults repre-sented. After listening to their lineof hokum I was surprised that so fewpeople really become converts. Allare forceful, convincing speakers, alluse phrases and catchwords whichany advertising man would be proudto call his own, and they are all eitherstudents of psychology or completefools, I haven't yet decided which.The two broadcasts which I thoughtworthy of mention were those of Dr.P. L. Clark, who has started a schoolof "Sanitology" and who spouts fromWC111, and Lorna Fantin's Numer-ology program on the Columbiachain.

The Doctor opens his program byshouting in a stentorian voice, "Thewhiter the bread, the sooner you'redead!" which he follows up with,"adios means good-bye in Spanishbut operation means hood -bye in ev-ery language." For those among hisaudience who may still be skeptical,he advances countless proofs. Heproves (?) that starch and proteins,when eaten together, are fatal to hu-man beings; he proves that the medi-cal "trust" is envious of his reputa-tion, and is slandering him in theirofficial organ; he proves that allmedical men are quacks and fakers,and he proves, most convincingly ofall, that he is just another nut whothinks he has discovered a cure-all.

Lorna Fantin goes about her mis-sion a little less ruthlessly, and a lit-tle more "high -hat," which is the rea-son she broadcasts over a large chain.Nevertheless, there is mor' 'iokumspilled in her fifteen minute programthan in that of Dr. Clark. All life, itseems, moves in cycles of 9 years.If you were born during a 1 year, youwill be rich and powerful; being bornin a 2 year makes one discontentedand unhappy. Miss Fantin has a fineradio voice, and when she speaks ofthe "magnetic, electric 5" the listenerwould infer, if said listener couldn'tunderstand English, that she was say-ing something of tremendous impor-tance. I venture to guess that moneyis Miss Fantin's one idol, for moneyis sprinkled liberally thru her talk."Tomorrow," she will say, "is amoney day," or, "the 2 person willmake a lot of money" Miss Fantin isno doubt a 2 person, for no one lessfortunate could get away with thestuff she does and get paid for it.
